NJLCA Native Plant Seminar

We wanted to share with you this thank you note from the New Jersey Landscape Contractors Association. Michael was recently approached by the NJLCA with a request to fill in and give a Native Plants Presentation at a seminar they were holding when their featured presenter/speaker had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. I was humbled as it was indeed an honor to be asked to speak at this seminar about my passions. At Lincoln Landscaping we seek to engage, to inspire, to educate and to foster pleasure in outdoor living spaces.

Fothergilla – Hamamelidaceae

Fothergilla, commonly known as witch hazel, is a native shrub in woodlands of the eastern United States. It is a genus of the shrub family Hamamelidaceae. Within this family are two subspecies, Fothergilla Major and Fothergilla gardenii (Mt Airy). The two species are very similar, except for flower size, leaf base symmetry, and mature overall plant size and habit.

Native Viburnums

Viburnums, renowned for their white and many times fragrant flowers, fall color and berries, have long been popular shrubs. They are plants that just keep giving during all the garden seasons. Even though they bloom in the springtime, their flowers develop into berries providing food and nectar to a variety of wildlife providing sustenance, and their branching habit and foliage transforms into delightful autumn colors.

Fostering Employee Growth

Just as within the realm of organic land and landscape care, providing the necessary opportunities for growth results in the greatest degree of sustainability. Providing our employees with both the knowledge and opportunity to invest in themselves fosters employee growth and harmony, fosters a less stressful home life through a sense of accomplishment and financial security, and last but not least leads to quality employees providing quality service.
